Kurzbeschreibung
Let's face facts: guys who are good at math are not always good at organizing their lives. "Geek Logik" takes all the guesswork out of life's little decisions and boils everything down to a simple mathematical equation. Not sure whose turn it is to take out the rubbish? Don't fight about it; just plug in the variables and see. How much should you spend on your wife's birthday present? (There's a nifty little function in this equation that brings the price down a pound for every year of marriage.) Should you play hooky today? Evaluate how secure your job is, how many previous sick days you've taken, plug in the numbers, and the answer appears. The book contains 50 essential equations, a very simple remedial algebra primer (Don't know x from y? Don't worry. Garth will hold your hand through it all), and a calculator. Throwaway your Magic 8 Ball, dump the Ouija board - there's a new system of divination in town and it's "Geek Logik".
